Full support for the Visual Composer

Add new loading overlay animation

We fixed creating mail notification triggers in the form wizard.

We fixed the submit button from stopped being working

If the redirect is enabled and the form is set to ajax, we make sure that the ‘after submission message’ gets displayed

Scroll to the top after submitting a successful form with ajax

Add some field type management. This will get improved soon. It’s a starting point

Add new options to generate content

Create a new function to replace form fields easily by slug and shortcode [field_slug]

Add a new option to the title to auto generate it from other form elements

Create a new option in the taxonomy form element to select a placeholder text

Add an ‘is_admin’ check to the post meta saving function, to avoid deleting meta while saving from the admin editing screen.

Get the page_on_front and exclude it from the query. This page should not be used for the endpoints

We removed visual composer elements from the BuddyForms editing screen

Add an extra check to make sure JavaScript validation is only running if at least one form exist.

Set the BuddyForms post type public to false. There is no need to access BuddyForms directly

Add the post id to the buddyforms_user_can_edit filter. If we need more attributes it’s time for a arguments array
